I like that.

Nice. I had a xr600 Supermoto. Great fun but no electric boot and a tendency to stall saw it didn't stay long!

Like it a lot, as a former XR owner that rocks.
There's something cool about kicking a big dirt bike into life, otoh it's not so cool when it takes 30 kicks to start because it hasn't been started for a couple of weeks, which is what my one did.

Why have they gone to all the effort of re-creating the plastic tank in metal?

Surely a plastic tank is more durable on a baja bike?

To stop it melting with the modern fuel?

Fuck knows, though every plastic tanked dirt bike I've owned has sweated petrol from the tank, after a while the stickers came off, usually while riding.
